Gritty transcends Philly. Gritty has become death, destroyer of worlds. Gritty isn't just your CBJ trade. He MEANS something. He is better than you deserve.

Naked Gritty > Naked Mideon.

I didn't think his Cody Parkey bit could be topped..


.....then this happened. God bless you, Gritty.

 

[FastEddie]

Yeah what a great comedic bit. They keep topping themselves. It's impressive. How could any mascot in any sport electrify social media to the degree this one keeps doing? It should be boring, but the balls out carefree quality of how they designed Gritty connects with people, and the guy who is in the costume keeps living up to it.

Gritty is awesome.

It's amazing how Gritty has gone from being initially booed to a spectacle at the outdoor game.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing just how he's been embraced after a very lackluster introduction. It's part social media brilliance, part the amazing performer(s?) who plays him.

Gritty is a national treasure

 

[BritainStix]

He is the only positive thing to come out of this shit show of a season

 

[Falco Lombardi]

He’s the MVP of the season

 

[Jtown]

i feel like the flyers need take the cuffs off gritty and gift him to America. He must be shared with everyone.

 

[Kane One]

Best mascot ever. Second best is also in Philly.

Another good one for Gritty:

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Holy wow they totally suppressed the Gritty streaking bit here in Canadian media.
Also, him in Mormon country is incredible Gritty is a multidisciplinarian like we haven't seen since...Umberto Eco, maybe?

Thank you, Gritty, and the Carolina Hurricanes, for saving us from the mediocre playoffs we have now.
Additional thanks to the Colorado Avalanche.

Gritty is more entertaining than the hockey itself.
